A substance with a half life is decaying exponentially. If there are initially 12 grams of the substance and after 2 hours there are 7 grams, how many grams will remain after 3 hours? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, and do not include units.

Answers

Answer 1

If there initially 12 grams of the substance, 5.35 grams will remain after 3 hours

The initial amount, a = 12 grams

The amount after 2 hours, y = 7 grams

Time taken, x = 2 hours

First, let us calculate the decay constant, b

The formula for the final value of an exponential decay is:

[tex]y=a(1-b)^x[/tex]

Substitute y = 12, a = 7, and x = 2 into the equation to solve for b

[tex]7=12(1-b)^2\\\\\frac{7}{12} = (1-b)^2\\\\0.583=(1-b)^2\\\\\sqrt{0.583} = 1 - b\\\\0.764=1-b\\\\b=1-0.764\\\\b=0.236[/tex]

The decay constant, b = 0.236

After 3 hours:

Substitute x = 3, a = 12, and b = 0.236 to solve for y

[tex]y=a(1-b)^x\\\\y=12(1-0.236)^3\\\\y = 5.35[/tex]

Therefore, 5.35 grams will remain after 3 hours

Bruce and Felicia want to know whose tiles cover the most area per tile.

Answers

If the area each person covered using x tiles. Bruce's tiles cover the most area per tile.

What is the equation?

An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

It is given that, the tiles that Bruce used were each 1/4 of a square foot in the area and a table shows as,

Number of tiles(y)    6   12   18

Area covered (x)      1     2     3

Felicia tile's relationship between the number of tiles and the area covered is,

(1/6) =(12/2)=(18/3)

y=(1/6)x

The equation of a line to represent y, the area each person covered using x tiles for Bruce is,

y =(1/4)x.

Thus, if the area each person covered using x tiles. Bruce's tiles cover the most area per tile.

Veronica has two offers for a $65,000 student loan. The first loan has a 6.3% interest rate for 15 years, and the second loan has a 4.8% interest rate for 20 years. Both loans have interest compounded every month. Veronica is interested in finding the loan that minimizes the amount of interest that she will pay over the life of the loan. Which loan has a lower amount of interest paid?

Answers

The second option has a lower amount of interest paid.

In order to determine the loan option that minimizes loan payment, the future value of both loan options has to be determined.

FV = P (1 + r)^nm

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

m = number of compounding

N = number of years  

First loan option

65000( 1 + 0.063/12)^300 = 312,707.21

Second loan option

65000( 1 + 0.048/12)^240 = 169,435.51

You invest AED 5000 in a saving account that earns 4% interest each year. If you do not use the account for a year, how much money will you have in your account after a year?

Answers

Answer:

5200 AED or 1404 USD

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 5000 in your account. If your money grows 4% each year, it's basically like multiplying by 1.04.

5000 * 1.04 = 5200

If the question is asking in USD, the conversion rate from AED to USD is

AED * 0.27 = USD

We can substitute

5200 AED* 0.27 = 1404 USD.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + (x + 17)² = 25²

x² + x² + 34x + 289 = 625

2x² + 34x - 336 = 0

x² + 17x - 168 = 0

x = (-17 ±√(17² - 4(1)(-168))) / (2(1))

x = 7 or - 24   the negative distance makes no sense, but if we plug our good answer of 7 ft in for the base length, the height comes out to be + 24 ft

ten digits: 10

times a letter:24 letters= 10000x24=240000

time three digits: 10x10x10=100x240000=24000000

The total number of combination for the repeating and not repeating cases are 260000000 and 604800 respectively.

What is permutation and combination?

Permutation and combination are the ways of counting.

Permutation implies selection of objects regardless of arrangement while Combination implies the selection when arrangement is important.

Given that,

The hotel reservation number contains 4 digits, 1 letter and then 3 digits.

Now, there are two possible cases for the given problem as follows,

Case 1 : The digits are repeating.

Then the total number of combinations for digits varying from 0 to 9 and 26 letters will be,

10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 26 × 10 × 10 × 10

= 260000000

Case 2 : The digits are not repeating.

Then, for seven digits out of 10 the number of combinations are ¹⁰P₇.

And, for 26 letters it is ²⁶P₁.

Thus the total number of combinations are ¹⁰P₇ × ⁶P₁ which is equal to,

10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 26

= 604800

Hence, the different number of combinations for the reservation number for the two cases are 260000000 and 604800 respectively.

What is the probability that a sample of 2 of the 8 computers will not contain a defective computer?
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Answers

Answer:

5/28

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, probability is defined as the number of ways a certain event can happen divided by the total ways of an event happening. In this scenario, we are asked to find the number of non-defective computers divided by the total ways that a sample of two can be chosen.

The number of ways to choose 2 computers from 8 can be written as [tex]8\choose2[/tex], which is equal to [tex]\frac{8\cdot7}{2}[/tex], which is 28. Now, there are 3 defective computers, for a total of 5 non-defective computers, so the probability is 5/28.
